The VMs are pre-packaged virtual machines which have Matterhorn
pre-built and mostly configured.  Download one of the .zip or .7z files,
and then decompress it.  Verifying the gpg signatures, and md5 sums is
recommended, but not required.  When you first start them they will ask
a few configuration questions (proxy, what its URL is, etc) and then
install the 3rd party tools that we can't ship pre-built.  Installing
the VM in the VMWare player is quite simple:  Decompress the image and
then open the .vmx file with the player.  Installing it on ESXi is
possible, although I haven't done it myself.

Once the VM has finished building it should be a full functional
all-in-one core, albeit with reduced disk space and RAM compared to most
people's configuration.  For instance, after I built the 1.3.1-rc2 VM I
ran the image and it created a core at http://192.168.26.13:8080.  While
this address is only accessible from my own machine, it is fully
functional as a test VM for integration or manual testing.

There aren't any VM specific wiki docs yet.  They would consist mainly
of how to decompress the image so they haven't been terribly high priority.
